Scar Revision

Scar Revision Dallas

Scars are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery and they can be obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Sometimes, a scar can make us feel very self-conscious if it is raised or s a different color or texture than our natural skin.

The goal of scar revision surgery is to minimize the scar so that it more closely matches the surrounding skin.
